Ted Turnau and Jared Moore join me to discuss how becoming familiar with pop culture and discussing it with our children actually helps them engage their world for Christ.
Questions Ted, Jared and I Discussed:- (5:14) What led you to write the pop culture parent?
- (9:24) How do you define pop culture?
- (10:41) Christians tend to avoid or forbid anything related to pop culture, whether it be R-rated movies or secular music, what are some of the dangers in taking that approach?
- (12:18) Ted you've said, “Popular culture shapes imagination and inner worlds. It creates connections between them and their friends. They need parents to help them see how the gospel shines in contrast to what the world offers. They need training in discernment and wisdom as ambassadors of Christ to their friends. They need to learn the cultural language of the land to which God calls them: their own culture.” How can we go about engaging popular culture with our kids now to help them see the gospel in contrast to the world?
- (22:40) For the parent of a toddler or early elementary child that may be listening, provide an example of how they can engage their child in their interests now to begin laying a foundation for more spiritual conversations later?
- (33:34) Will you walk us through the 5 Simple Questions to ask about popular culture?
- (41:21) What final encouragement do you have for parents?
"Popular culture is not the equivalent to bad culture, which is what a lot of Christians take it to mean." -Ted
"This is a popular culture world that we live in. Do we want to train our children to live in this world? Or do we want to train them to live in a world that doesn't exist? You can't evangelize in that world that doesn't exist. We live in this world and so let us train our children to be in this popular cultural world but not of it."
-Jared

Mary Flo Ridley joins me to talk about simple, foundational conversations to have with our children, ranging from toddlers to teens, that will shape their sexual health for years to come.
Questions Mary Flo and I Discussed:- (4:25) Even in 2020, I have conversations with friends who cringe when it comes to having the “birds and bees” talk with their children. We deal with questions like when is it the right time, what should I say, and so on, but Birds and Bees is all about getting rid of this idea that this is a one-time conversation in parenting. What are you hoping to see in exchange?
- (9:12) Let’s begin by talking to the parents who have toddlers, what is a conversation pattern they can establish to show their children they are the loving authority on the topic of their bodies?
- (13:36) What are some key conversations and general language parents can practice with their elementary age children?
- (19:11) The average age someone first sees pornography is 11 yo and are as likely to see it accidentally as on purpose. How do you encourage parents to deal with discussing pornography with their children?
- (27:20) For parents of middle and high school age children (or really all young parents), talking about masturbation and puberty feels daunting. How do you encourage parents to address this topic?
- (32:30) Birds & Bees offers a curriculum. What can one expect if they use your curriculum?
- (36:15) Do you have any encouragement for the parent who feels like they are “behind” or have failed to create an open dialogue surrounding sex and our bodies?
- (39:38) Lastly, what are some books and other resources you would recommend to parents on this topic?
“What is the main thing you want your children to know about sex? If they’re growing up in your family? If you could give that answer in one sentence? What would that sentence be?”

Hillary Morgan Ferrer joins me to discuss some myths that Christians are tempted to believe when it comes to children and their faith. We also talk how to help our kids recognize false messages, the chew and spit method, linguistic theft, and the R.O.A.R. method that has been so helpful in my journey of separating truth from the subtle lies that bombard us daily.
Questions Hillary and I Discussed:- (3:35) Define apologetics and why you’re so passionate about parents embracing the role of apologist in the lives of their children.
- (6:00) What are some of the myths we, as followers of Jesus, are tempted to believe when it comes to our children and their faith?
- (16:50) Share a little about helping our kids discern truth from lies, what you deem the “chew and spit” method.
- (29:38) In Mamabear Apologetics, you devote a whole chapter to linguistic theft. What is linguistic theft and how are we seeing it play it out right now in our culture?
- (38:13) You advise parents to gain a clear understanding of each “ism” so that we can recognize which one is affecting our children. Will you share an overview of the “ism”s you are referring to and why it is important to know them?
- (45:53) Lastly, there is no question we are living in a post-Christian culture here in America. Share the ROAR method with our listeners to help them address the lies we face on a daily basis.
“We have this idea that faith is this feeling that we conjure up when we don’t know something, but I’m just gonna believe it anyway, despite the evidence. That is a horrible definition of faith. A better definition of faith is if we go back to Scripture, to Hebrews 11:1 where it says faith is being sure of what you hope for and certain of what you do not see. So anything that makes you more sure and more certain increases your faith. It’s the idea of responding to available evidence.”

Meg Glesener joins me to discuss some practical ways to cast vision in your family, how it empowers your children to focus on the big picture and how it promotes family unity.
Questions Meg and I Discussed:- (5:29): Today, we are going to talk about casting a vision for your family. Give our listeners a little background about the family you grew up in and how you came to know Jesus.
- (16:07) What led you and your husband to begin intentionally casting vision in your family?
- (21:59) In your family, how did you go about casting vision? (Together, as individuals, etc.)
- (28:47) How did having a family vision help you and your children?
- (30:18) For the listener, who is feeling the nudge to cast a vision for his/her family, what steps would you encourage them to take?
- (35:48) What are some final words about family vision casting you would like the listener to take away?
"My childhood was pretty messy. In my in our home growing up there were so many strikes against me."
"I think when you take that extra time to build an environment of love and teamwork, and we're all serving God together when they're young that carries into their teen years."
"Casting a vision happens in the non-confrontational moments when the kids are the best versions of themselves, and they want to participate."

Questions Taylor and I Discussed:- (2:25) Before we fully launch into your story tell us a little about your faith journey with Jesus. When did you come to know Him?
- (3:20) Take us back to 2013 and share with our listeners what happened to you on that day and how your life was forever changed
- (14:54) What were some of the hardest things you faced in the days and months following the shooting?

- (25:48) You are passionate about holding the American Christian church accountable to its pro-life claims. In your experience, how does pro-life accountability involve gun reform?

Mike Savage joins me to talk about how Jesus wrecked and saved His life while serving 15 + years in prison for international money laundering.
Questions Mike and I Discussed:- (2:58) To set the stage for your story, tell us a little about your childhood working your way through getting married and your first few jobs.
- (6:53) You end up being labeled as “a criminal mastermind” and often joke about how that can’t be true, because you got caught, describe your job to us and how the phrase “it’s a slow fade” is true of your plunge into money laundering.
- (13:21) Your wife, Cynthia, stayed with you, despite having absolutely no idea about your criminal activity. So go back and tell me a little bit about what your family life was like, while you were living this criminal lifestyle and she was clueless. And then what was it like those two years where you weren’t in prison, but you were being investigated?
- (30:02) So you end up in prison for 15 years, where you surrender your life to Jesus. Walk us through how you came to know Him.
- (35:52) The day arrives, when your time served is complete. What was the first year out of prison like for you and your family?
- What does your life look like today? How do you and Cynthia use your experience to point others toward Jesus?
“I knew everything that was going on. She knew nothing.”
“I actually was praying, even though I hadn’t been saved, I’m still praying, ‘God, please get me out of this. Please get me out of this.’ And He did get me out of it. I went to prison. I was found guilty.”

Karen Swallow Prior joins me on Grace Enough Podcast to discuss the impact reading good books can have on our journey with Jesus, particularly as it relates to cultivating virtue and helping us read and understand Scripture.
Questions Karen Swallow Prior and I Discussed:- (4:30) In your newest book On Reading Well you write, "Just as water, over a long period of time, reshapes the land through which it runs, so too we are formed by the habit of reading good books well." In light of that quote share a little of your backstory with us. How did you come to know Jesus and what are a few memories you have of books shaping your faith?
- (6:55) The subtitle of Reading Well is "Finding the Good Life Through Great Books." What is the good life and how does reading great books help us to discover it?
- (9:15) For many, the word virtue may not resonate, but when we define it as behavior showing high moral character my hope is ears perk up. Talk to us a little about cultivating virtue in our current culture and some practical steps we can take to be purposeful in this area.
- (13:07) What do you think it is about reading a book with a character who is virtuous? How do you think that inspires us to really live differently?
- (15:19) As followers of Jesus we hold Scripture in highest regard. How does reading other great books help us read and understand Scripture better?
- .......
"For me, love of books and love of Jesus are so intertwined, I can hardly disconnect them."
"As I grew older, and became more interested in the mind, and the intellect that books cultivates, I didn't see a lot of space for that in the church. And for a long time, I didn't see how the two went together. It really wasn't until I was completing my PhD that I, through a number of circumstances, figured out, wow, the love that I have for words comes from the Creator of the Word."

Markus Watson joins me on the Grace Enough Podcast to discuss his journey of being falsely accused the vortex of darkness he entered and truly understanding and believing he was/is God's beloved.
Questions Markus and I Discussed:- (5:46) You grew up in a Christian household in Los Angeles. What was it like living in a large city like L.A., yet being the pastor's kid?
- (10:53) After college you return to Hollywood to begin living out your childhood dream. Walk us through that experience and what happened that led you to make a 180 degree career turn.
- (15:17) Tell us about your first ministry position in Union, Kentucky
- (17:27) In 2007, you moved to San Diego to accept a lead pastor position. Several years into your role life really came to a crashing halt when a member accused you of having a pornography problem. Walk us through that time line and how long it took to be found innocent of those false charges.
- (23:52) Did you constantly think, does everybody around me think that I'm doing this?
- (31:47) How did your family deal with the accusation and months long process?
- (41:16) You would call the false accusations and investigation a dark night of the soul experience. During that time you truly learned and believe you were/are the beloved of God. Share some of the books resources that helped you during that lonely time.
- (46:31) Your passion is to help the people of God learn to participate in God’s mission of restoring shalom in the world. What does that mean to you and how are you going about doing that in your day to day life?
"I got involved in Campus Crusade for Christ... It was transformative for me. I learned how to share my faith. I learned how to lead a Bible study, I learned how to give a talk and found I really enjoyed doing that."
"I loved it [seminary]. As soon as I started taking those classes, I just remember thinking to myself, Oh my gosh, I can't believe I get to learn all this stuff. It felt like I was exactly where I needed to be."
"I need to let you know that someone has accused you of having a problem with pornography."
"I fell into this vortex of darkness. I was scared. I was angry. I was angry, in part because we have a process for dealing with accusations and he wasn't following the process."
"I have a few points of light in the midst of that darkness. One is my friend Kevin, who was my accountability partner. He really went to bat for me during that time."
"It's interesting how in these situations, it's like light and darkness together, right? And somehow God works through that."
"Then, I had this picture in my mind of me just sort of sitting in a prison cell having lost everything, my job, my ordination, my family, my reputation, everything. And then, I just heard God say, 'But Markus, you might lose everything, but you will never lose My love for you.' That's the one thing no one can ever take away from you. And that was an utterly transformative moment for me because I understood God's love in a way that I had never understood it before."
"It's not about earning God's love. It's just about surrendering to it."

Ep. 84 of the Grace Enough Podcast, Sandy Cullum joins me to talk about cultivating a prayer life through thanksgiving, quiet and Scripture prayers. We also discuss her journey of doubt and darkness and how she has learned God never left her.
Questions Sandy and I Discussed:
- (4:19) Tell us a little bit about your childhood and how you came to know Jesus.
- (836) Fast forward to being a young mom living back in Florida. What were your days like and how were you involved in ministry during that time?
- (15:03) Something I have said time and time again is, "I believe your prayers for me and Sam long before I was a part of your family literally changed my life and continues to do so." Share with our listeners a few tips on cultivating a prayer life.
- (30:22) You were in the middle of your "dark night of the soul" when Sam and I got married, but what I have heard about the Sandy prior to that season in your life is Jesus was truly your best friend and it was obvious. Share a little about what happened that led to your season of wrestling with all that you believed to be true.
- (1:03:50) What does your relationship with Jesus look like today?
Quotes to Remember:
"People have asked me how did you become such a woman of prayer? And I was like, because I couldn't handle life. I couldn't handle life. I was desperate."
"I had an advantage then, because we didn't have much money. And even though I have this full library now, I had almost no books, then. I had no internet and having the internet alone makes is this huge resource that's there that you can turn to first. Instead of turning to God first."
"I would say that practicing daily Thanksgiving, although people see it as a separate spiritual practice, is a huge part of prayer."
"I needed to keep my mind on what I did have, instead of what I didn't have and thought I needed. I needed that practice of writing down in journals every day, things I was thankful for, and being able to see it in front of my eyes. You might think that's not prayer, but if you're keeping any kind of a thanksgiving paper on your wall or a log of some sort, or you have it as a daily practice, that's prayer."
"Cultivate quiet. That's what I see as by far the biggest challenge for people today in our culture, social media, all the streaming that's available, our phones constantly going off. Prayer is as much listening and hearing what God is saying to us, as it is what we're saying to God. And if our phone is constantly going off, then we don't have...enough quiet space in our life, to let Him speak to us."
"When you pray those kinds of prayers for people, God changes your heart, and you're able to then accept things that may come into your life or their life that you wouldn't have asked for."
"If you just get in the habit of reading Scripture out loud, then you'll find yourself more easily moving into the Scripture prayers that God's Spirit is directing you to."
"One night when I was coming home from the Bible study, I remember it was raining and I remember I just started almost shouting, 'God, I want them to know you. I want them to know you like I know you. And I was praying for my husband. I was praying for Kyle and his wife, Michelle, and I was praying for Sam and I was praying for his future wife. And when I prayed that prayer, I knew that reality was changing and that my whole family as a result of that prayer was stepping into or through a different door."
"I was writing Father, I need you to show me the Scriptures I need now. I feel so lost, so unable to hear you or help my family through my intercession for them. Father, Who can I talk with about this? Who will understand and point me and push me in the right direction? Save me, save us, Lord, save us from ourselves."
"Prayers that I prayed back in 2003 and 2004 and 5, in 2006 God was holding in that bowl. You know that bowl of incense, which is the prayers of the saints, to release them later in my life, I wrote as late as March 29, 2006, 'I wonder if I will ever wholeheartedly believe in the God I used to know again? If my thoughts about God will ever again resonate with certainty rather than sound hollow and empty, like a whisper of a long ago dream? Oh, God have mercy on me. And so those prayers that I had prayed for Sam and his wife, I couldn't pray during this time. But God was holding them from the time when I had been able to pray them, and He was working them in your lives, because He's not bound by time and He's at the center of all time and sees it all."
"God was so faithfully patient with me...David asked me..., 'Sandy, are you a Christian?' I would think about it, I would answer him, 'I don't know if I'm a Christian, but I know that God hasn't left me' and I couldn't make rational sense of that with Scripture."
"I was having a fresh look at the cross from within the lens of Isaiah 53. Not just that our sin that He took upon Himself, but our suffering that He took upon Himself, and that the suffering took upon Himself was largely the result of God's respecting our free will."
Scripture References:
Revelation 21: The River of Life
Ephesians 6: Spiritual Warfare

TWO BOOKS TO USE LIKE DEVOTIONALS TO HELP YOU STAY ROOTED IN GOD'S CHARACTER AS YOU PRAY:
SANDY'S TWO FAVORITE BOOKS ABOUT PRAYER:
- FINDING THE HEART'S TRUE HOME by Richard Foster (very accessible) Use as a guide, 21 short chapters, each about a different type of prayer. Thoughtfully reading it will stretch your conception and boxes of prayer - it will invite you to an ADVENTURE - not another duty or task on your to-do list.
- LISTENING PRAYER: LEARNING TO HEAR GOD'S VOICE AND KEEP A PRAYER JOURNAL by Leanne Payne Here's what Dallas Willard said about it: "An intensely practical book based on the author's rich experience of how to live now as a servant of Christ and His Word. There is nothing in print that surpasses it in this regard, and perhaps nothing that equals it."

Chrystal Evans Hurst joins me on the Grace Enough Podcast to discuss prayer and how it is simply accepting God's invitation to join Him in conversation.
Questions Chrystal and I Discussed:- (4:20) Share a little of your faith journey with us. How did you come to know Jesus?
- (8:02) As we begin to talk about prayer, share with our listeners how prayer changed you during one of the hardest seasons of your life.
- (12:05) As followers of Jesus prayer is how we communicate with Him. I think it is safe to say we long for a consistent, unceasing prayer life, but often get caught up in the "how-to's" or feel guilty about constantly asking God for more. How can we move beyond that and develop prayer habits that lend itself to intimacy and conversation with Jesus?
- (19:15) How can we have peace in the waiting?
- (22:28) Why do our prayers matter for more than just us?
- (26:06) If you had the opportunity to sit down with your great grandchildren, what is some wisdom that you would like to share with them?
"He can handle my questions. He can handle my anger. He can handle my grief. He can handle my my disappointment in Him, that He didn't do what we were asking him to do. And by coming to Him and continuing to come to Him, whatever that looks like, whether it's the disappointment, it's the grief, it's the frustration, it's the anger or if it's just, today was a rough day, and I want to make sure that You know that I know You were here for all of it.... The God of the universe has said, listen, I went through a lot of trouble to make sure that we could have fellowship."
"There are a lot of people who've been talking to God for a very long time. Is there anything that I'm going to say to God, a question that I'm going to ask, a frustration that I'm going to have, a grief that I'm struggling to handle, a disappointment that I'm struggling to deal with? Is there anything that I could say or ask God that he hasn't heard before? Probably not?"
"God has already started the conversation. He's already said, by virtue of the sacrifice of His son, and by the delivery of the word, I want to have a conversation with you."
"If you think God is...worth your time, then you talk back. You talk back. All prayer is is an invitation to enter into a conversation."
"Conversating with God is not supposed to be obligatory it's supposed to be relational. Just enjoy the conversation."
"Maybe the question is, instead of who's prayer warriorring for me? The question is, who am I the prayer warrior for?"
Scripture References:- David: A man after God's own heart 1 Sam. 13;14, Acts 13:22
- Cattle on a thousand hills, Psalms 50: 10
- Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, Eph. 3:20
